Sad truth, I regret to say -is it any wonder that reaching a compromise is so hard, when the powers-that-be are egged on by those who have no intention of giving an inch., and are utterly convinced that only their vision is the one that counts, doing their utmost to denigrate others in the process.

You talk as if all of a sudden, people have become aware of climate change -the issues we now hear about have been known for years; long before this lot decided to disrupt. Progress has been made, albeit too slowly, and will continue to be made, but I am pretty certain that messing folk about...

[/B] Precisely as I expected. having worked with teenagers for 40 years, I know that the vast majority have little interest in politics and see a good chance of a day off. whilst in the park here on that afternoon, I chanced upon a group who had been to the demo, and were hiding away, so as to...

Please stop all this common senses on here.

I know you are being sarcastic here, but you do NOT hold the wrong view -just that your view is different to the cowardly internet mob, who hide their own hypocrisy by hounding down anyone whose view doesn't coincide with what is currently in vogue.

Now, how did I know you would appear? I suppose you saw yourself when the word "extremist" was used. And as to why people should change their minds -well those too entrenched to do so, will of course never change their minds, which works for both sides of the argument, before you start . .

All this may well be the case, so that justifies your insult. Is this what you advocate for NSC -if you feel your opponent is talking rubbish, then you are perfectly free, and quite justified, to start insults?

Oh how the naïve fall for it. Campaigns for action against climate change have been going on for years/decades -are you too young to remember the switch to leaded-free petrol in the 80s. Do you really think that school strikes have all of a sudden accelerated matters? And given that the...

Or perhaps it is rather a question of not wanting to hear, which then gets them off the hook and avoids nasty punishments -far better to fine or close part of the ground. I would be happy for the team to walk off and then let's face up to UEFA if they want to deduct points; in the subsequent...

[/B] If I see your posts, I usually make a point of reading them, but assume on this occasion you have obviously started the Friday drinking early.

Thanks. Bottom one worked a treat. I am not sure what to make of this teenager. Yes - gutsy, determined, principled, thinking of her generation etc but can also see that folk could well be turned off by being lectured to by someone so young, who has not experienced much of life.

Now this strikes me as being a very sensible way of getting your message across -it is poignant, well-thought-out, restrained and gets publicity. No one could really object to that, and no one is disrupted. Surely this is a far more effective course of action, likely to endear them to public...

I could not open the link -might be the case for others, but just might be my computer. All very well, but on its own that phrase is really quite meaningless.

Ok!

I can't help feeling that XR protestors rather undermine themselves! They don't need help from NSC posters.

Well, that's written off thousands of Mancunians

Has mental health come into it? might it not have been terrorist-related?

Yes, seems utterly reasonable and well put. I now await the extremists.

No, that is your obsession about climate change talking. I have not read anyone say that they cannot protest because they have this and that. What galls folk, quite understandably, is that they are being lectured to, by folk all too willing to disrupt, and with the strong suspicion that those...

Yes, thanks.
